Greetings !
In dedicati ng this yeaes first i~~ue of the Glc,,"C>'
to His Grace, Archbishop Edward Mooney, fourth
Bishop of Roehester, we wish him e\'ery succe~s.
It was probably rather dHJkult, YOUI' Grace, for
you to come to a city which was unknown and
st"ange to you, And yet we have a lready discov­ered,
and we' hope you have too, that you, the
succeSSOl' to ou r belovrd Bishop John Franci~
O'Hern, have already won fOl' yourself a place in
t he hearts of yoU!' pe<:>ple.
We, the students of Nazareth College. wi~h to
welcome yOU to Rochester and to t he college. The
youth of Roehestel', found in thc city's Catholic
schools, forms a large part of the Catholic l>opula­tion.
You may be sure, Your Grace, that we w'll
be with you always in all your plans, yOU!' ambi_
tions and your ideals, You have only to give the
word and we shall be ready to take up the com­mand.
We pledge OU!' support, wholeheartedly and
unreservedly, to you,
We ho»(" Your Grace, that you will be a very
real part of our life at Nazareth, We hope that,
amid whatever ca~s and worries you have-and
may they be few!_you will think of Nazan~th as
one place where your sadncss will tl'u ly disapllOal'
and where thel'" is ever a welcome for you,
In closing, Your Grace, allow us to add the words
which yOU have heard so often, but which you have
never hcard uttered with more sincerity: lIIay
snccess meet all your efforts and may your life in
Roehester be one of the gl",atest happiness!
Opening of School
Once mo,'e we are faccd with the ''ealization that
'lnother year lies befOl'e us in which "'e hope to
achieve many of our desircs, and to see the fulfill,
ments of many of our ambit ions and dreams. For
we all look forward to this new sehool year as to a
time of accomplishments of duties and of pleasure~.
Each class has its own interprctation of achiev('_
menlo F'or the Seniors it is their last yeal', the
precious last year, in which they must bring to a
close all their activities as college students. Schol­astically,
thcy sce before them the joys and te rrors
of practice teaching. Socially, they have precedencc
ove,· all othC!' classes. Now, after three long years
of 8ubseI'vience, they may c ry, " It is Senior prece_
dence!" Then, too, they joyfully anticipate the
Scnior Ball, the culminatiou of their soeial life.
The Juniors. too, consider it a most important em
of their life. Their time can be devotad to the;"
all-important majors and minors. No morc need
th('y trifle with undesi!'able $ubjects, They, also,
TH~; GLEANfo.::R
are upperclassmen, Their social expectations ar'"
centered aoout the Junior Prom, the acme of social
cvents of the college.
To the Sophomore~, this yea" means that they
must delve into the ~nlms of scicnce, that the:-:
mllst initiate the F'reshman to coll~ge life; thci,'
iuitiation to the formal social events of the colleg.~.
The F'reshmcu aro equally eager. It is their fh'st
experience of the much-talked-about collcge life.
They aro beginning a new cI'a of their life, a part
of their li fe they perhaps have been awaiting for
y c ar~.
We hope that the closc of this new school yeal'
will see the fulfillment of all the d,'eams and hopes
that each of us has visualized.

( Building Fund
The fact that the student body is one of the
lal'gest that Nazal'eth has ever had is au encourag.
ing note, particularly ill these days of d~p\'e3sion .
And yet. this large numbcz' of stndents has brought
home to us the l'ealization that we nced, mOre than

For several years we ha\'c felt the absolute nc('<1
of a la.~r c~llege and now we know t hat this 'leer!
is "'1 immediate oue. Thereforc, membCl's of the
Alumnae have organized a Building Fund. It is
hardly necessary to say that tho fund expects, anti
rightly expects, that we, as membel"S of Nazareth
College, will give our support and loyalt.v.
Su~ly, we cannot refuse to stand back of 0\1,·
alma matet· in this, one of her I:n'eatest uudertal:,

Therefore, let us ])l'omise our collesro nnd those who

At last we have found a suit­able
time for a mis$ion meeting
and if the rest prove as interest­ing
and as lively as t he first, we
just wouldn't miss one!
Surcly, any heathen would
"come up sometime" to be ~o
thoroughly entertained! How
could we help feeling a strong

for t he miuions?
We went away "keeping our

My next visit was to the Am­balUlador
where Lennox Robinson
is asking, "Is Life Worth Living!"
This play was produced for the
first time at the Abbey Theatre,
Dublin, on February eleventh of
this year. In a program note the
author alUlures us, "This play has
no 'purpose' and preaches no le!!-­Ion.
It was written during n
week'i holiday, writing it gave me
II ha-ppy week and seeing it has
given many people in Dublin a few
happy hours, that is all there ill
to ,ay about it. I call it an 'ex­aggeration'
which is a polite way
of saying that it is a farce-thc
incident. are a little too good to
be true." The scene ill laid in
Inish, a resort town on the Irish
coast, and the story tells of the
disastrous effect on the simple
people or the village when a

plays which, unlike Mr. Hobin­son's,
have a purpose. After a

that in the original play the set­tini'

American IIdaptation is laid in

Jived in the home of Dr. Haggett
(played by Cedric Hardwicke,
who is remembered for hi~ por­trayal
of Magnus in "The Applc

scene or the t hree acts of the
play. Humor, much of it with a

with literary figures is "The
Bronte6," by Alfred Sangster, at
the Royalty with the author in
the role of Patrick Bronte "who,"
II program note tells us, "loves his
children almost liS much as he

aimed at historieal accuracy, and
has succeeded in reproducing the

Greetings !
In dedicati ng this yeaes first i~~ue of the Glc,,"C>'
to His Grace, Archbishop Edward Mooney, fourth
Bishop of Roehester, we wish him e\'ery succe~s.
It was probably rather dHJkult, YOUI' Grace, for
you to come to a city which was unknown and
st"ange to you, And yet we have a lready discov­ered,
and we' hope you have too, that you, the
succeSSOl' to ou r belovrd Bishop John Franci~
O'Hern, have already won fOl' yourself a place in
t he hearts of yoU!' peple.
We, the students of Nazareth College. wi~h to
welcome yOU to Rochester and to t he college. The
youth of Roehestel', found in thc city's Catholic
schools, forms a large part of the Catholic l>opula­tion.
You may be sure, Your Grace, that we w'll
be with you always in all your plans, yOU!' ambi_
tions and your ideals, You have only to give the
word and we shall be ready to take up the com­mand.
We pledge OU!' support, wholeheartedly and
unreservedly, to you,
We ho»(" Your Grace, that you will be a very
real part of our life at Nazareth, We hope that,
amid whatever ca~s and worries you have-and
may they be few!_you will think of Nazan~th as
one place where your sadncss will tl'u ly disapllOal'
and where thel'" is ever a welcome for you,
In closing, Your Grace, allow us to add the words
which yOU have heard so often, but which you have
never hcard uttered with more sincerity: lIIay
snccess meet all your efforts and may your life in
Roehester be one of the gl",atest happiness!
Opening of School
Once mo,'e we are faccd with the ''ealization that
'lnother year lies befOl'e us in which "'e hope to
achieve many of our desircs, and to see the fulfill,
ments of many of our ambit ions and dreams. For
we all look forward to this new sehool year as to a
time of accomplishments of duties and of pleasure~.
Each class has its own interprctation of achiev('_
menlo F'or the Seniors it is their last yeal', the
precious last year, in which they must bring to a
close all their activities as college students. Schol­astically,
thcy sce before them the joys and te rrors
of practice teaching. Socially, they have precedencc
ove,· all othC!' classes. Now, after three long years
of 8ubseI'vience, they may c ry, " It is Senior prece_
dence!" Then, too, they joyfully anticipate the
Scnior Ball, the culminatiou of their soeial life.
The Juniors. too, consider it a most important em
of their life. Their time can be devotad to the;"
all-important majors and minors. No morc need
th('y trifle with undesi!'able $ubjects, They, also,
TH~; GLEANfo.::R
are upperclassmen, Their social expectations ar'"
centered aoout the Junior Prom, the acme of social
cvents of the college.
To the Sophomore~, this yea" means that they
must delve into the ~nlms of scicnce, that the:-:
mllst initiate the F'reshman to coll~ge life; thci,'
iuitiation to the formal social events of the colleg.~.
The F'reshmcu aro equally eager. It is their fh'st
experience of the much-talked-about collcge life.
They aro beginning a new cI'a of their life, a part
of their li fe they perhaps have been awaiting for
y c ar~.
We hope that the closc of this new school yeal'
will see the fulfillment of all the d,'eams and hopes
that each of us has visualized.

When he bel'omes too tired standing in line, he
merely attaches his name to a chair which he put!!

that when he .",turns his place is not stolen. How
would that work in America?
( Building Fund
The fact that the student body is one of the
lal'gest that Nazal'eth has ever had is au encourag.
ing note, particularly ill these days of d~p\'e3sion .
And yet. this large numbcz' of stndents has brought
home to us the l'ealization that we nced, mOre than

For several years we ha\'c felt the absolute nc('<1
of a la.~r c~llege and now we know t hat this 'leer!
is "'1 immediate oue. Thereforc, membCl's of the
Alumnae have organized a Building Fund. It is
hardly necessary to say that tho fund expects, anti

T he Study Club
The initial meeting this year of
the Nll1l1reth College Study Club
was held Wednesday evening, Oc­tober
4. Since the topic chosen
for discuuion is Current Events
in Germany, Russia, Spain, and
Mexico, the members decided to
devote the next two meetings to a
brief survey of the history of these
countries since the war.
During the month. Siater Teresa

usual are taking the Italian courae
and have joined the Italian Club
which now numbers about thirty

A tentative program was out­lined
which included the dramatir.­ation
of one or two plays.
One mCilting is to be held each

members of the club to co-operate
by attending.

At last we have found a suit­able
time for a mis$ion meeting
and if the rest prove as interest­ing
and as lively as t he first, we
just wouldn't miss one!

My next visit was to the Am­balUlador
where Lennox Robinson
is asking, "Is Life Worth Living!"
This play was produced for the
first time at the Abbey Theatre,
Dublin, on February eleventh of
this year. In a program note the
author alUlures us, "This play has
no 'purpose' and preaches no le!!-­Ion.
It was written during n
